1 Alpha 2 Mates

Chapter 8

Lily's POV

The ride back to Noah and Heather's house was silent. Was it my house now too? I slept over the first night. Noah down the hall from Heather and I. It was hard being away from him but I managed by listening to the sound of him tossing and turning, even though that sounds creepy and I wouldn't admit it to anyone.

We finally got to the house and hopped out the car. I quickly ran around to the other side  of the car to hold onto Noah and give him some sort of comfort. I may come off a little clingy but we barely no each other and I'm trying to get even in this stupid competition of who wins our mates affection, and so far I'm 5 months behind.

Heather was already at his side when I got to him, she was holding onto his arm and rubbing it.

"Noah, remember when I say you stress too much? Well your stressing too much again" she says.

"Heather I could ruin either yours or Lily's life by choosing the other. Even if I do choose one of you, I will always be thinking of what happened to the other. I would never forgive myself" he says walking up the porch steps with both of us flanking off his arms. 

He turns around to the pack members and says "You're all dismissed. I will disscuss this with everyone later, for now I need space and privacy, I don't want any interruptions unless necessary. Clear?" he demands.

"Clear" they all say heading off.

We get to the double doors of the house and Noah unlocks one and then the other. It's a set of double doors and the other door is on Heather's side. All she needs to do is open it to allow us all to fit through without anyone having to let go, but she decides to keep that door shut and push Noah and herself through the other door, the side I was on. I'm forced to let go and walk behind them until we get to the clearing of the foyer. I can't stand her.

"Noah?" I say coming to stand infront of him. I was wringing my hands and shuffling on my feet. I was so nervous, everything I say and do now always has to impress him. He literally has my life on the tip of his tongue. If he chooses Heather for a mate I will be mateless. 

Wolves don't date other wolves because of three things: They already have a mate, they are waiting to meet their mate, or they lost their mate. So we date humans if we dont have mates. I don't want a human I want Noah.

He looks down at me with stressed eyes and a small smile "Yeah Lil?" he puts his hands on the side of arms to stop me from moving so much.

"I'll like to take you up on your offer, to go on that date. I think we should both blow off some steam" I said trying not to sound nervous. It was hard not to considering Heather was staring at me with those eyes. I think she should go back to being a blonde, because that black hair with her sharp eyes are unsettling when it's directed at you.

He smiled, but when he was about to reply Heather opened her big mouth to speak. "When did you offer somthing like that Noah?"

I quickly replied for him "At Alpha Rickmans" I say waving my hand dismissively at her. "So how 'bout it?"

"That'll be great, we can leave in a few minutes" he says moving one of his hands to my hair. One thing I learned about him on my own was that he loves playing with hair. When we were getting to know each other I was on his lap, his hands could have been anywhere else but they were running through my hair. I look at Heather's hair and take pride in the fact that mine is longer. Mine falls just under my chest area while hers brush her shoulders. 

The only thing that she has on me is her looks. I'm not going to lie, she has this natural beauty thing going for her. From the few times I looked at her it looks like she only wears mascara, which she probably only wears to darken her blonde eyelashes, while for me, mascara couldn't the job alone.

"I think we should all eat dinner here and talk about this whole thing" Heather says in a hopeful voice.

I try to keep the glare out eyes as I say "We'll pass."

She looks to Noah with furrowed eyebrows and he drops his hands from me and shoves them in his pockets looking at her. "Noah don't you agree?"

"Heath, I promised her" he says softly.

"But I hardly saw you all week you were so busy and now your leaving, plus it's already getting late" She says quietly. "Am I suppose to eat alone and wait up all night for you to return?" 

I roll my eyes. That's exactly what it means. "You won't have to wait up all night you can just go to bed" I said flatly.

"Noah there's too much changes and I don't like it" she says shaking her head looking down.

He pulls her in his embrace and puts his chin on the top of her head. "Call one of your friends to come over, just pretend that... I'm out at the pact building working late" he says.

"But I know your not."

"Pretend" I say rolling my eyes. She's wasting my night with Noah, now he's going to worry about her when were out. I admit, I would be jealous to, but she had him to herself for a long time. 

"Call someone Heath, I don't want you by yourself tonight" he says pulling her at arms length "Okay?"

She raises her head and looks at him, searching his eyes. She's clearly trying to keep her emotions under control. "I'm fine by myself, I don't need anyone over. I'll make something then head up for the night" she says trying to free herself.

He tightens his grip on her arms and pulls her in for a kiss. I walk outside and try to tune my ears on something else other than the sound their lips make. I feel sick, why do I always get stuck in crappy situations? I'm dating a man who is dating someone else. I feel like the other women, the one who he's out cheating with while his wife is at home with the kids.

He comes out a minute later and we both enter the car. He starts the car but doesn't move it. He turns to look at me but I put my hand up to stop him from whatever he's about to say.

"I know already, you're sorry about this whole thing and blah blah blah. You know how you can make it up to me?" I ask.

He looks a bit surprised then smiles "How?"

"By forgetting that you have another mate inside that house. By forgetting about everything that happened today. By just letting go and having fun with me and me alone. By treating me as the mate you just found and always wanted" I say, looking out my window. I just wanted to be his mate without him trying to give equal attention to someone else. It's clear to me how much he adores Heather.

He pulls my chin so I look his way. "Lily you are the mate I've always wanted. The thing is I just happend to get two of what I always wanted in a partner. But you're right, this is our date and ours alone so I will treat it that way. Heather who?" he grins.

I feel a big smile slip onto my face. If I don't get chosen to be his marked mate then at least I will have this night to remember.

Who am I kidding? I'm going to be the best mate I can be tonight so that I have a fighting chance at winning his mind, body, and heart.
